Multipoint Evaluation Tree

Definition

A Multipoint Evaluation Tree is a cryptographic data structure that enables efficient proofs for the evaluation of a polynomial at multiple distinct points. It permits a prover to commit to a polynomial and subsequently demonstrate the values of that polynomial at various specified inputs without revealing the entire polynomial itself. This structure provides compact and verifiable proofs, significantly reducing the data required for verification in zero-knowledge systems. It is a specialized tool for advanced cryptographic constructions.
